Would this utility knife cut carpet?

Yes, it takes the standard utility blades which work fine on carpet. The auto-loading feature makes it a great choice for any task that require blade changes.

Yes. The blades are not those used by professional carpet installers but as long as they are sharp they will cut carpet fine.

It is sharp enough and strong enough to cut ordinary carpet, but only for occasional use. It certainly isn'y for regular job-related use.

Probably, with a carpet knife or something similar. It does have a beveled edge that you would lose.

Technically it probably could since it can do some cutting tasks but I would not recommend it. There are other tools much better suited to that job - like a coping saw.

Yes. Cuts easily with a utility knife. We purchased these for a Ford F250, and Land Rover Discovery. All had to be modified. It was easy to do.

Yes but you have to pull the blade on the cutter out a little further. If you don't it will cut through just far enough to leave a skim of paper which when you try to fix it mucks up the mat. This thing will cut a real nice mat but there is a learning curve and even thereafter it's easy to screw it up if you're not careful. Overall I am happy with it. It does the job and was affordable. Once you have a feel for how the blade has to be fiddled with its fine. If you pull the blade out to far it will overcut

Yes, this will cut nylon webbing. There might be better tools for the job, though.

While these are excellent scissors, they are not designed to cut something as thick or durable as carpet. They will work for a very minimal amount of cutting, but if you have a fair amount to do, I would not choose them for the job.

I think it would if it was pretty sharp I know it will cut faux-suede the rest I'm not sure.

Hello Diane, Yes, this tool would be great for the job you described. It even comes with a tile cutting blade. Hope that helps!

Yes, but be careful with hitting stuff, because the blade is not good quality.

Absolutely. I have used these shears to cut carpet padding and carpet easily. The only down side is that individual threads from the carpet tend to lodge between the blades. If that happens, they don't cut anymore. Its hard to tell when it happens, and its even harder to get the lint out from between the blades. When I made a 30' cut through thin carpet recently, I had to stop about 3 times to pull threads out from between the blades. Kind of frustrating.

not a good idea....it might melt some of the fibers but not create a clean cutif it cuts at all...a heavy duty utility knife with an easy to grip handle and some additional replacement blades would be a better tool for this job.

it's designed for light duty, for small area of carpet, it works fine, but I would not recommend this for carpet.

I wouldn't think so. Laminate flooring is a softer material, and this cutter is intended for cutting brittle materials. This tool works by applying stress to the cutting line with the carbide wheel, then bending to finish the cutting process. I would imagine Laminate would need a sharp blade, or if you have an oscillating powertool, it works wonder for most material...except tiles.. :)

I don't know if the company would recommend this? If you do I would lay it on a flat surface and score it and cut it with a utility knife.

Sure! It cuts easily with scissors. I used this in a mine craft themed bedroom for my son, as a rug. ... it is a hit!

The best way would be to use industrial machinery, but if you are doing it at home, a sharp utility knife with a steel ruler would give you a clean cut.
